Apert Sydrome: Physical Traits

The Heart:
Fortunately, Apert syndrome is usually not associated with any major heart problems. However, these children do have a much higher incidence of small holes in their hearts called ASD's (atrial septal defects) and VSD's (ventricular septal defects). It is important that all children be screened for these by a pediatric cardiologist.
